How to play against strangest 1-4-3-2?

Hey guys,

first post in here! :)

Tomorrow I'm going to play this formation:

1-4-3-2:

---------ST---------ST---------
---------MC---MC---MC---------
DML----DMC---------DMC----DMR
---------------DC---------------

Sort of weird... i guess him to have down arrows on his DML/DMR and probably on the 2 DMCs as well.
I have no idea how to play against this formation, because there's no free space on midfield..

Hope someone can help me with this strange stuff :D

merry christmas to all btw ;)

You should have an easy match, he only has one real defender so the formation should be deemed illegal, you will get 80% possession. Attacking him down the wings would be easier, but due to his offence, it will be hard to fit more players on the wings. Try to use a formation with two ST.

----ST-----ST------
AML-----------AMR-
----MC-MC-MC------
--------------------
----DC-DC-DC------

Just my suggestion, zonal marking, or man-to-man if you're stronger.

thanks :)
should i set up a defensive mentality?

How do the teams compare? Player qualities? A screenshot of both sides would be good.

Considering his formation, I would ask you to go offensive, red arrows only on the wingers, and partially red arrows on the MCs, not all of them, though. A couple of blue arrows on the DCs would help your defence too.

I won the match 3:1 with defensive motivation.. I had 22,4 and he had 12,3, so it was kind of secure.. but still, i think i could have win higher.. thank you anyways! :)
